Dicky V was an NBA coach as well. IU didn't hire a coach who the NBA was still wanting. Teams hired him as a coach.......but after insufficient success those same teams then fired him. Right? Even in a league where coaches are recycled over and over and over again, he wasn't able to get back to a HC role. It's a great accomplishment to get there but its not a confirmation that one is a good coach unless they stay there.
My position is simply that the NBA coaches are better than G league coaches. Woodson was an NBA head coach because he is good at developing players.
Nice, you got me.Thats easy, look at Indiana's record. lol They didn't make the tournament, got smoked multiple times throughout the season, including the last game of their season. He was even boo'd on occasion. You got any other brain busters?
Going to be a bit harder for smith this coming season. Won’t be doubling the post or drop coverage handicaps. Smith won’t get that elbow jumper. They have the Boilers anywhere from 3rd to 11th early. I’m not so confident in that or them having us so high. I do believe it will be Illinois, Purdue and Rutgers as pre-season top 3 in the B1G
i should’ve said “those” 3 will be ranked and pre-season picks. Not sure msu will be but things change quickly in these few weeks.
History is history, but it is pretty fair to say that given the results that #15 was an incorrect ranking by the committee.
So since he was not able to retire as an NBA head coach, he is not a good coach?
I see Purdue at the top again, still have size, started 3 sophomores in the final four, Heide, Colvin, Catchings, Harris and Cox are all athletes that can shoot! Plus Painter is probably the best coach in the league! I really like Michigan, if they get Goldin they are going to be really good, and Dusty is one hell of a coach. I really like Ohio St., Diebler is going to be good, could use a big. Maryland if their guard play comes around, their front court may be the best in BT. Indiana could be good if they can shoot the 3. IUs front court needs to add a big(is the squad really better any than 22-23?)!
You really have put the Banner hanging people out of business, haven't you!
Of course not. Where did I mention him not being able to retire? I said he wasn't wanted by anyone in the NBA. That is the problem, not his ability or inability to retire. This really isn't as hard as you want to make it out to be.
You are either fired from a job or retire from a job. He was a head coach for two different teams. Where did you hear that he was not wanted by anyone in the NBA?
No, I never made any claims. I’m trying to learn for you. Please share your knowledge.
It is much easier putting rsomm alias Bozo the Clown on ignore. You all should try it. It will bring back some sanity to this board.
Leal and Galloway wanted to make big splashes at Senior Day? Just a guess.
Made no sense for them to speak senior day is about thinking the fans and moving on. It was a way for Woodson to get to kids to hype him up.
Pot meets kettle And Five meets zero.
The banner hanging people were replaced by attorneys negotiating and drawing up the multiple buyout contracts every few years. Because IU fans are so demanding and have high standards, as stated on here multiple times.
So they were in business? Purdue has never needed to hire them.
Set piece plays with everybody on only one side of the floor was his coaching downfall.
But you are. It's literally become your personality. It's quite evident. Purdue had 2 transfers, IU had 3. Give it a rest.
Really! Purdues players got their 4 years in, in fact Gillis was at Purdue for 5 years. They knew they were leaving prior to start of last year. IU on the other had to make room in the shopping cart so they showed 2 sophomores and a junior the exit door! I mean why would they leave because of the NIL that they were getting. Transferring for your covid year vs the need to boot players so you can buy yourself a competitive product, is total different. Hope it works out for ya$$$$!
Cmon now. You think Painter was jumping at adding in state Gunn and Sparks to the roster? I'd be worried too if Purdue was reloading with the top transfer class. Give it a few seasons and we'll see what Puke fans are saying about boosters giving money. Until then, your drivel is only welcome in relief when the board needs a jesters entertainment.
Total BS! The dinosaurs were long gone the last time the Hoosiers were contenders,
Purdue is doing it the “right way.” The media and officials were in support of their run. They made it to the championship game. Yet still no peace for Boilers. There is nothing else anyone can do for you guys. If you want respect, you have to stand on your own and win titles. There is no other way.
Lol Lance Jones didnt transfer in?
None? Everyone with eligibility who doesn't go pro will probably be back -- and MM/MR/Tucker are fairly likely to not go pro yet given NIL is pretty appealing vs. a two-way contract (not sure any of those guys look like guaranteed $ in the NBA). We only have two one-year rentals in Ballo and Goode.
For me personally, one season is enough for me to be a fan of a player. I will always remember how JHS played and what he did to Purdue. I keep up with him on the Lakers.
That was with Edey. Everyone wants to talk about Painter and PU as if the Edey years are the way it has always been and always will be. He was a once in a lifetime player that brought winning and stability to the program. Edey is gone. The winning will be less as will the year to year roster stability.
